I'm Moving to Austin, TX! | My journey and why I chose Austin

[@andplanesx3]

Girl! We have such similar stories with trying to move to Austin for such a long time, turning 30 this year, and figuring out remote work. I actually teared up when you did because it was also an emotional journey for me. I’m finally moving mid-April! We should connect :)

Omg what a crazy coincidence! I would love that! 💛

Wow this is so similar to what I'm going through. I've been in Seattle for 7 years now, just like how you were in Portland for that long. I moved here for a job and never really considered whether I actually want to live here or not. I'm also telling myself I need a change and Austin and NyC are my 2 shortlisted places. Hope you're having a great time there

Thank you for sharing your story :) I’m actually moving there too this year after thinking about it for years! It helps a lot to listen to your experience!

[@StacyMichelle4]

I'm happy you enjoyed it. Best of luck!

The universe is so funny. We have very similar backgrounds, even the idea just popping into my head of moving to Austin. I have never been to Austin and want to move there for the past year, mainly because I’m scared of the Portland winters (they’re too gloomy for me) I hope Austin is treating you well. I am following my gut and moving there in November. I hope to one day bump into you :)

I just moved here and this video popped up in my recommendations! Hope your time in Austin has been great!

So jealous! I dream about relocating to atx right out of college but ended up in sf for my first job. My goal is to transfer to atx within 2 years. I completely understand the wild thought. I’ve never lived in atx but I fell in love with the city since the 3 day roadtrip. I’ve been doing so much research about atx and am so certain that I’m going to love it. It’s 6th sense.

Woot! So happy for you! I loved Austin!

[@StacyMichelle4]

Thank you! :)

This is so crazy, our story is so similar. I’m from Covington, went to Western for college and am now about to move to Austin this summer because I also want to finally venture out from the PNW and am terrified but NEED sun. I also feel like eventually I may end up back in WA but who knows. Good luck ❤️ Maybe I’ll run into you in Austin sometime! I also got an apartment locator, just got back from Austin after apartment hunting and am about to apply! Hopefully us pacific northwesterners don’t die from the Texas heat 🥵

We have a different opinion, and that's ok!
